The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 318: If wishes...

Lyla

Lenny's body suddenly arched beneath my hands, a gasp escaping his lips as the poison fought back.

I pushed harder, humming words in a language I didn't consciously know – they seemed to come from somewhere deeper than memory.

The blue light intensified, enveloping the entirety of Lenny's body. I could feel the strength of the poison weakening under the assault of my pure energy. I could feel his Lycan responding; it seemed to be growing stronger.

Instinctively, I placed one hand over his heart and the other on his forehead, creating a circuit of energy. The blue light pulsed in rhythm with his heartbeat, growing brighter with each pulse. Within that light, I could see the poison's final resistance—a dark knot gathered near his heart, the source of the infection.

Focusing all my power on that knot, I pressed harder with both hands. The words flowing from my lips reached a crescendo, my voice filling the small room with power. The blue light contracted, concentrating into a single, brilliant point that pierced the darkness at its core.

There was a moment of resistance—a final, desperate struggle—and then the poison dissolved, the light from me swallowing its dark energy. The blue glow spread throughout Lenny's body one last time as if it were doing the final cleansing.

As I felt the last of the poison vanish, I gradually reduced the flow of energy, letting the healing light fade slowly until only a faint blue shimmer remained beneath his skin. His breathing had steadied, his face was no longer pale, and his colour had returned. The wound that had refused to close began to knit together beneath the bandages.

I stepped back, surprised to find that I wasn't exhausted. Tired, yes, but nothing like the bone-deep fatigue that such healing would have caused me before. I gently touched my stomach, wondering if the baby was somehow enhancing my powers, making me stronger rather than more vulnerable.

Lenny's eyes fluttered open, and he scanned the room for a few seconds before they landed on me. He stared for the longest time, until I was almost forced to call out his name, but just at the last minute, he spoke.

"Lyla?" he croaked, his voice rough from disuse.

"Welcome back," I said, smiling. "You had us worried."

He tried to sit up, wincing at the movement. "Ramsey—is he—"

"He's fine, thanks to you," I assured him, gently pressing him back against the pillows. "Rest now. You're healed, but your body needs time to recover its strength."

He groaned, placing a hand weakly over his eyes. "I swear, I saw death. Whatever that bastard had in his knife was so painful. I can't believe I shrieked like a woman."

A laugh bubbled to my throat, but I couldn't let it out because Lenny had a serious expression on his face.

"Did they catch him at least? Is the war over?"

I fainted. Cassidy stabbed me, too, but I survived just like you. The war is far from over, I'm sure. Xander is yet to get into it. He's trying to use people,
